Recording Arts for Film, Games and Interactive Media

Learn the art of sound design at CDIA, where you’ll study how music and sound are used in film, television, records, games, and new media. You’ll be immersed in the world of audio, studio operations, music technology, and music production as you prepare for your career in the recording arts.

At CDIA, you’ll be taught by working professionals, who bring their real-world experience to the classroom, creating a bridge between the craft of recording and sound design and the industry. You’ll learn about the practical realities of building and sustaining a career, and you’ll make valuable contacts, while you build your demo reel.

Many of the classes at CDIA are project-based, giving you a chance to try out your new skills and gain a realistic perspective on how sound and music design are integrated into visual media like film, animation, and more. And at CDIA, learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door. Recording Arts students may take part in a four-week Production Practicum, creating a sound project for a real-world client under the direction of a professional. You’ll gain confidence, refine your skills, and get a better understanding of the career you’re training for.
